Having more sales does not mean you have to like it. Toyota sells cars here about ten times what Ford sells, but I hate those ugly Japanese cars, so I agree with ripper. Besides, we all like Mustangs more than Model Y or Model 3s.
Remember that the Chevy Bolt is not GM's first electric car (it was the EV1), and the engineers have plenty of experience after laying out cabling for the two Volt generations, the Spark EV, and the first generation Bolt, all FWD.
But they could not save space for a frunk in the Cadillac...
As I have posted before, this should not be a tax credit because not many pay over $7,500 in Federal taxes, especially for someone such as myself who does not pay any Federal tax. It should be a point of sale rebate at the dealership for any customer with the funds to buy but not the income for...
Another "pro" is less heating when charging or discharging. I have two power stations using 6 kWh oF LFP battery and the case is almost sealed with no ventilation, passive or active. So less coolant is needed for a Mach-E sized battery, saving weight and cost. But range is less for same...
IF it is assembled on the same line as the Cadillac Lyriq , it will have a big plastic cover and the different fluid bottle caps. Search and read the Cadillac Lyriq owner manual for details.
GM will not make more than one body design for different power configurations. The trunk space will remain the same for FWD or RWD. As for cabling, they just install the correct harness according to the power setup. Even the mounting points are all the same. So it will be possible to add a...
This week, GM will present two new electric vehicles. Monday, July 18th, Chevrolet will present the Blazer EV, which is based on the Cadillac Lyriq and assembled at the same plant. Starting price is around $45,000.
Friday, July 22nd, Cadillac will present the luxury sedan Celestiq ...
I am also planning to get the Cadillac Lyriq in 2024 or 2025. It will cost me just a little more than the Mach-E, which starts st $70,000 here due to import taxes. Besides the cost issue, it is for my wife. I will keep my Fusion Hybrid for many more years.Then I expect to buy a new Ford...
No, because your brake system uses hydraulics at low speeds, and that is enough to take off any rust that might accumulate with time. No need to heat them that often. My 2014 Fusion Hybrid still has its factory pads, and the rotors look as good as they should be, with some wear. They are never...
Yes, you are. Did you forget that all modern automatic transmissions have a filter in them? Some cars recommend changes after over 100,000 miles or never. I did changes after ten or more years in my GM cars. My wife's 2009 Chevy Equinox is 13 years old, but the transmission , made by Aisin, is...
I agree with the author of the article that Toyota could had released more pure EVs than hybrids but I also wish that the credit should be a point of sale rebate, not a tax rebate because many citizens do not generate over $7,500 in Federal taxes, and some, such as myself, don't pay Federal...
Why can Ford go back to a simple mechanical lock and key to open the frunk and get access to the jumper terminals? I have not ordered my Mach-E yet, but when it is in my hands, I will put a lock and key to it. My present Fusion Hybrid can be opened by a key even if both the 12 V and the HVB...
